Hi, I'm looking for some advice. I've been shopping around for a PDA for way too long now and I need help making a decision. I've been using a really old Handspring and I'm more than ready to move on. I have come down to a few choices but I was wondering what you guys think. I went to the computer store the other day to try out some of the handhelds I've been looking at the most. The sad thing is they only had one of them plugged in. :( The Ipaq 4155 felt great, I think the design is awesome. I love that it's so small and so loaded. The other one is the 2215, but it wasn't working. I really like it's design too. The grip on the sides makes it really comfortable. Another PDA that caught my attention was the Toshiba e755, it has a little bigger screen and seems to be pretty loaded as well. Unfortunatley that wasn't on either. The 4155 seems to be a bit more expensive which is understandable, considering it's size and functions. Anyway, the question that I have is, which one do you guys think is more worth the money? I know the 2215 doesn't have WiFi, but I hear you can get a WiFi card for it. All three seem to have the same processor and I've read a lot of good reviews about each one. I would like to have a PDA that's fast, good battery life, and that has WiFi or WiFi upgradable. Perferably, integrated. I would also like to be able to play some games on it since I travel so much from home and school. I've been reading about extra batteries that are available for each model to help it last longer. Oh I don't know, anybody that reads this and knows what I'm talking about, please, help! I've been looking for too long now and I'm near my breaking point. I just don't want to invest three or four hundred dollars and wish I'd made a different choice. I know you guys know a lot, so please, help me out. Please!!!

you are going to be happy with any iPAQ but I think the 4100 will work best... the 2200 comes up alot with problems and the owners of the 4100 are always bragging. How nice and tiny it is and the speed and all that.

I have a hp5555 and like the big size. Unfutanatly I have been notified that this model has been stopped beign produce. :eek: :(

(That sux cuase it has twice the RAM of any other pocket pc with the capabilities of the 4100 AND a bigger batt and sweeter software suit.)

Another thing to look at is the software suit that is included with the cd. Ask ppl what prgrams are on thier cd. Can someone tell us what is on thier 4100 CD and on thier 2200? Thanks.
